They don't, but the Composer is about as wide-scale as an energy projector. The composer won't target all the Flood, so if they don't want to destroy structures, they could just tune an energy projector to a setting where it won't destroy their buildings.
Then you're doing the same job as what you proposed with less prep-work, work, and more deadly against the Flood.

But isn't that exactly what the Halos do?

Halo doesn't fire plasma, and if it did, tuning it to not damage structures and planets of any kind would make it worthless. Halo propels super-massive neutrinos that target neural networks at extreme superluminal speeds.

Ok. I wasn't exactly clear on the difference in firing mechanisms and functionality between Halo and the Composer beyond the obvious difference of one kills everything and the other just removes them from a physical plain of existence.

Well... Technically the Composer does kill you. And it replaces you with a frighteningly accurate copy.
